This is a love story.
Willie Wilson, Royals Stadium, 1979
Technically, the story of this company dates back to the summer of 1979. That’s when Willie Wilson met Kurt Saberi for the first time on the warning track of then Royals Stadium. At only four months old, a love for the game was already being established. From the beginning, the numbers that surrounded the game were of particular interest to our founder. In this case, the number six. This was Willie’s number on the field. Not long after that, Kurt had committed all the Royals players’ names, numbers, and field positions to memory as they paved their way to the 1985 World Series.
As a player and lifelong fan, it’s safe to say that baseball has made an indelible mark on our founder.
Love is never without heartache.
Kauffman Stadium, World Series Game 7, 2014
It’s okay to be nervous. You will lose things along the way. Your fans will have merciless expectations, while also displaying uncompromising loyalty.
The road to victory is long and winding.

Everything comes full circle at some point, even if that means moving station to station on a diamond to do so. Let perseverance, grit, and determination be your guide.
Always be looking at the next 90 ft.
Koen Saberi, 2016
Whether in the stands or on the field, the next generation of fans will proudly display their unquestionable admiration for you, while forming a love of their own for America’s pastime.
